RWP Number 981040, revision 02, "U1F98 8 U2F99/ U-1 8 U-2 Upper Containment Maintenance," task 2, describes anti-contamination clothing requirements including wearing double gloves in the ice condenser area.
Contrary to the above, on February 12, 1998, radiation workers signed onto RWP 981040 were performing work in the Unit 1 lower ice condenser area without wearing double gloves.
This is a Severity Level IVViolation (Supplement IV).
Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires that procedures be established, implemented and maintained covering activities referenced in the applicable procedures recommended in Appendix "A"of Regulatory Guide 1.33, revision 2, February 1978.
